The Sacristans - Sister Mary (Specific) and Sister Basil
Sister Mary is one of 5 sisters named Mary at her convent. She is the youngest, but people have avoided referring to her as Sister Mary the Youngest because of all the hassle with Pitt the Elder, Pitt the Younger, Pitt the Middle etc which still causes ripples several hundred years later. She has threatened to revert to her birth name, Muriel, if she is ever mistaken again for one of the other Sister Marys - Sr Mary (Regular) and Sr Mary (Irregular) - both named for their bowel issues; Sr Mary (Particular) named for her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Sr Mary (Unspecific) who suffers from dementia and is usually living in 1941.
Sisiter Basil is not named after one of the great doctors of the church, like Basil of Caesearea or Basil the Great, but after her hometown of Basildon is Essex, because it is easy to remember. Her upper body is entirely covered in tattoos, and in a previous life she was a boy racer. She enjoys alco-pops, but has to throw the bottles out of her window on the third floor of the convent rather than be discovered putting them out with the rubbish. So far she has caused several thousand pounds worth of criminal damage to the luxury car showroom over the wall.
